The Cruze small car remained Chevrolet’s best-selling nameplate globally. Chevrolet has sold more than 2.5 million Cruzes since its launch in 2008.

In the U.S., Chevrolet posted full-year gains with its small cars (Cruze, Sonic, Spark), up 10 percent, as well as with its Silverado light and heavy-duty pickup trucks, up 15 percent.
